International Law

This scholarship enables two law graduates – one ethnic Chinese from China, and one ethnic Tibetan from either China or from the Tibetan community outside of China – to travel to Canada for a 12-month period to earn a Master of Laws Degree (LLM) at the University of Ottawa.  A condition of the scholarship is the desire to work with the other recipient on a specific project. Applicants’ personal statements and research proposals will be the determining factors.
